The nutritional value of egg custard is relatively high, but some people worry that eating egg custard may cause weight gain because it is high in calories.

1. Will eating egg custard make you fat?

You won’t get fat, but you shouldn’t eat too much egg custard. One egg weighs about 60 grams and has about 76 calories. To make a steamed egg custard, you need 1 egg, 1 gram of salt, chopped green onions, 3-5 grams of vegetable oil (oil is optional) and 200 ml of water. The calories in a bowl of egg custard = eggs + salt + vegetable oil + chopped green onions, which is about 100 calories. Therefore, the calories in egg custard are not high, and are about the same as the calories in rice, so you will not make you fat by eating it. However, it is not advisable to eat too much egg custard as it will not make you fat. Nutritionists recommend eating only one egg a day, because if you eat too much, the body cannot absorb it and it can easily cause high cholesterol.
